Yoga

Fitness update!

I've discovered that I have Fit TV. I found this program called Namaste Yoga and every time it comes on I work out alongside the girls on TV or I DVR it so I can do it when I'm off work. I can feel it working my muscles. I looked in the mirror today and saw that my upper abs were beginning to show through underneath my stomach fat lol. And that was without me flexing anything. I felt pretty accomplished.

I also did this amazing cardio workout on Fit TV. Inspired by Bollywood Dance. Man, let me tell you was I ever sweating. But it felt so good to get my heart rate up. My goal is to workout everyday along to a program on Fit TV, whether its cardio, yoga or pilates. I can keep up with the TV for 30 minutes. Especially now that I'm starting to see results.

I put on a pair of jeans the other day and I didn't have to jump into them. They slid up a little easier. I haven't weighed myself officially, but I count that as progress.

There's also this gym downtown that I took a tour of. Has a yoga class on Mondays and a Zumba class on Saturdays that I'm interested in. It's a pretty cheap monthly membership of $39. Now I just have to gather the courage of going to a gym at regular intervals and working out by myself. 

My fitness goal for August, the start of a new school year where I will Lord willing be living and teaching in Winston-Salem, to have dropped a pants size. My pants size isn't that high as it is, but I want my toned, flexible body back. Not to mention I want to speed up my metabolism. For someone who loves to eat as much as I do. Physical exercise needs to be a regular component in my life.
